Some of the holdouts are still refusing to talk to Jordan. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/10/19/house-speaker-vote-live/ They're probably setting bad precedents here. As obnoxious as the Freedom Caucus is, even they didn't just outright refuse to talk to McCarthy forever. That the moderates are just going "lolno" to talking to the frontrunner for the Speakership (even considering the fact that it's a clown like Jim Jordan) is gonna provoke similar behavior from rivals and make it literally impossible for the party to choose a Speaker. This doesn't make much sense. Are you excusing the Republicans who ousted McCarthy in favor of Jordan? --- lolAmerica <cite>ClayGuida posted [p:976751319] in House Spea...

Death threats are the last thing that would make someone comfortable with giving up their power. MAGA is extremely stupid, and as an extension of that Jordan/McCarthy/etc. were incredibly stupid for forcing a vote before they had the votes; they should've predicted that the alt-right would respond highly counterproductively to the holdouts. It's just bad politics all around. ClayGuida posted... This doesn't make much sense. Are you excusing the Republicans who ousted McCarthy in favor of Jordan? They ousted McCarthy because he didn't follow the rules of the deal he agreed upon to get the votes. It's a cut and dry matter. And even Gaetz endorsed Scalise after Jordan lost the initial conference vote, so it's not like he was explictly demanding Jordan instead; he just wanted McCarthy gone. Any future Speaker can also be voted out if they don't follow their agreements. I actually don't see any problem with the feature.

Inohira 10/19/23 7:42:25 PM #232:	StealThisSheen posted... Inohira being a right wing simp? Gee, no way! If I was a right-wing simp I would be attacking the Democrats for voting out McCarthy and refusing to vote for a Republican Speaker, like all the actual right-wing simps are doing, rather than holding the GOP responsible for its own failures. There's no nuance for partisan hack trolls like yourself. Piss off. Tyranthraxus posted... "I'm a Democrat tho" I'm not a Democrat and I've never said I was one. I'm an independent. I see the GOP collapsing and I'm giving commentary on how they're all at fault. Rather than being biased and jerking off the side I like more. McSame_as_Bush posted... I'm surprised the GOP hasn't managed to destroy Gaetz like they did to Madison Cawthorn. He's already come within an inch of being indicted, so I'm guessing there are plenty of skeletons for them to share with the media. Cawthorn got destroyed because he did non-heterosexual stuff on camera. Republicans hate that. --- 1 line break(s), 121 characters allowed <cite>Inohira posted [p:976752767] in House Spea...
